I had this the other day. It's common and nothing to stress over. But I did a bit at first

Thank you for your reply - it really scared me! I've been to the loo about a million times since & there's nothing else so I'm hoping it won't lead to anything else. I can't wait to get to my 12 week scan!! Xxx

I've had this and brown spotting started on Monday. Then again yday. It's frightening when you see it but spotting in pregnancy for some can be common. Mine is usually when I wipe and I've had it with all 3 pregnancies yet it never gets easier. Hospital usually say if there are no cramps and it doesn't fill a pad and not bright red your usually ok. If it's last more than 3 days then give them a call. They always thought it was an irritation on my cervix and not coming from my womb. I always have had it from 5/6 weeks too.xxx
